Psychotherapy Research: An International Review of Programmatic Studies

Psychotherapy Research examines current psychotherapy outcome and process research worldwide. The book takes a look at current research and practical issues being explored, examines the intellectual history of the development of psychotherapy research, and presents an overview of the entire field. It discusses large- and small-scale programs in terms of the aims and history of the program, research contributions, and research in progress. Some areas of investigation include phobia and anxiety disorders, marital distress and depression, borderline personality disorder, conscious and unconscious mental processing, and therapist techniques.
